the natural choice

WWW.OMNIS-PANELS.COM

Omnis, is a leading UK manufacturer and supplier of complete building envelope systems.

Petrarch is a man-made alternative to natural stone cladding which offers all the same attributes while providing some key benefi ts such as ease of use and fl exibility in design.

Our expertise and experience in both manufacturing and supplying cladding systems enable us to meet or exceed all of the requirements of today’s demanding building designers and contractors.Petrarch cladding is aesthetically excellent, easy to design, easy to fi t and will last year after year, after year…

cutting-edge aesthetics and superb durability in even the most severe environmental

conditions make Petrarch the natural choice.

Architects and specifi ers have long been aware of the advantages of man-made re-constituted stone panels over natural stone. With Petrarch, we’ve developed and perfected the art of producing this alternative.

Petrarch enables you to design-in individuality and style combined with extreme environmental durability, high impact resistance and freedom from maintenance.

Petrarch is available in a very wide range of colors and fi nishes and two different thicknesses, so there’s bound to be one that’s perfect for your application. If not, it is possible that we can create your project specifi c color and fi nish, giving you unlimited design possibilities and freedom.

Petrarch is considerably lighter in weight than natural stone counterparts, driving down construction time and costs.

The install cost is usually a fraction of that of stone, allowing striking fi nishes to be achieved within realistic construction budgets.

introductionThis, together with our understanding of your requirements, also means that as a supplier, we are as easy to work with as our product range. We’ll advise you on any technical or commercial aspect of cladding, help you conform with the most stringent specifi cations and also assist you in achieving the most economical solution, even when specifying bespoke panels.

Petrarch is BBA accredited and is manufactured in Hastings under ISO 9001 quality management system.

Because of how it’s formed, quarried and weathered, natural stone comes in different surface fi nishes and textures. Why should man-made materials be any different?

With Petrarch, you get a choice of four different fi nishes to lend even more individuality and style to any building. Choose from a traditional riven fi nish that replicates the surface of slate, a contemporary smooth fi nish and a textured matt fi nish. Choice of texture adds a tactile dimension to product selection. By designating the surface fi nish and pattern the colors gain additional character and depth.

colorsThink of a color.

With an astounding 1,500 colors in the Petrarch palette, there’s a very good chance that you will fi nd what you’re looking for. Whether used outside or inside, all are designed to enhance the natural environment of a building and complement the landscape – or create a startling statement.

CREATE YOUR VISION WITH CUSTOM COLORS Petrarch is an extremely versatile product that invites creative design. Available in a range of standard colors, across four finishes and two thicknesses, there’s bound to be one that is suitable for your application. Addition-ally, your vision can be created in a custom color, greatly expanding your design possibilities. CUSTOM COLORS FAQ

What colors can you make custom? We can match most paint chips. For best performance, stay away from extremely bright colors. Does a custom color cost more than a standard color? Not always. The primary factor in determining the price is volume and we will work with you. Is the lead time longer with a custom color? Once the color sample is approved, lead time is the same. What finishes can be used with a custom color? All four finishes can accommodate custom colors: Riven Slate, Riven Slate Shot Blast, Smooth and Smooth Shot Blast.
